Lin Zheyu sat suspended in the void, his eyes closed.
The energy in his body, under his control, moved in a specific way, and the power of space rules fluctuated violently in the void around him.
Suddenly.
The power of rules in Lin Zheyu's body disappeared instantly, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened them.
There was deep exhaustion in his eyes.
"It still doesn't work. This technique is much more difficult than imagined."
Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly.
More than twenty days have passed, and there is still no progress in the technique. Even though I have tried exhaustive methods, I have tried all the techniques I can think of.
Still failed to create a fourth floor that shrunk to an inch.
"It seems that my current strength is not enough to create such a technique, and my accumulation is still too little."
Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly and decided not to continue trying.
He tried almost all the techniques he could think of, and Lin Zheyu could tell at a glance that they were not feasible for the remaining ones that he had not tried.
There is no need to try at all.
"Forget it, let's optimize the martial arts divine patterns first. Maybe we can get unexpected gains from the magic patterns."
Lin Zheyu stood up, swayed slightly, and disappeared into the practice space in Hunyuan Pond.
When he appeared again, he came to a space full of monsters.
Lin Zheyu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the shadow dragon suspended in the void. This is a rare race among monsters.
Unlike other monsters, this shadow dragon has no life.
Lin Zheyu specially reserved it to study the magic patterns on his body. For this rare race, the magic patterns have high research value.
It's a pity that after studying it for a long time, he couldn't come up with anything valuable.
But that was before.
Lin Zheyu's research on magic patterns is not deep enough and he doesn't know enough.
After he studied the demons he captured this time, from shallow to deep, from weak to powerful, one by one.
Let’s study the Shadow Dragon again, and we should be able to gain something.
"It's a pity that there is only one corpse of the Shadow Dragon. It would be even better if we could catch a few more and keep them alive."
"The special talent of the Shadow Dragon is that it can integrate itself into the shadow gap. Maybe it can help me create a short-distance teleportation technique."
Lin Zheyu said with some regret.
In fact, there are more than just shadow dragons.
The barbarian who cooperated with Shi Tianyun at the beginning also had abilities similar to those of the Shadow Demon Dragon.
If you can get some insights from the totems on his body, it can also play a big role.
Unfortunately.
After Lin Zheyu killed the barbarian warrior, he failed to leave his body behind and let his body escape.
This left him speechless.
Even if everyone is dead, the other party's body can still escape.
Breathe softly.
Get rid of distracting thoughts in your mind and calm down.
The eyes in the sea of consciousness suddenly opened, and Lin Zheyu started again, a new round of boring retreat practice.
The path of cultivation is getting more and more difficult.
At Lin Zheyu's current level of strength, if he wants to make a big breakthrough in strength, it will take longer and longer and more and more accumulation will be required.
Even with the help of source power.
But in the space of consciousness, the accumulation and insights that Lin Zheyu consumed in his practice were not created out of nothing.
These accumulations and insights require him to practice, accumulate, and comprehend in the real world.
After obtaining a large amount of knowledge and insights, these knowledge and insights can become nutrients, and under the influence of source power, numerous fruits can be produced.
Cultivation takes no time.
Time passed slowly, and more than a year passed in a blink of an eye.
This is the first time that Lin Zheyu has practiced in seclusion for such a long time since he traveled through time.
This retreat was different from the previous ones. Lin Zheyu did not take a step out of the courtyard, nor even left the inner void of Hunyuan Pond.
Every day, in addition to studying the magic patterns on the demon's body, he also performs extreme exercises every once in a while to silently accumulate energy.
In empty space.
Lin Zheyu's eyes suddenly opened.
"Fan Hongwei?"
Lin Zheyu was a little surprised.
He was in a daze for a moment, and after counting, he realized that nearly a year and a half had passed.
"It feels like I've only been in seclusion for a few days, but more than a year has passed. It's really like I have been practicing for a long time..."
Lin Zheyu sighed softly.
He turned his right hand over, and the special messenger jade talisman made by Lingyun Pavilion appeared in his hand.
This is the contact jade talisman left by Fan Hongwei.
"I've recovered from my injuries. I don't know when my friend will be free. Let's make an appointment to explore the witch ruins together."
Looking at the message left by Fan Hongwei, Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and did not intend to reply immediately.
Based on Fan Hongwei's ability, he may have received the news that he is in retreat.
Otherwise, he would not have used the method of summons, but would have directly gone to Yanwu City to visit in person.
"How serious was Fan Hongwei's injury back then? It took him so long to recover."
"It seems that the ruins are quite dangerous."
"Don't rush there. Let Fan Hongwei wait for a few years and then study all the remaining monsters."
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
In more than a year, he only completed about one-third of the progress.
However, as Lin Zheyu masters more and more demonic patterns, he will study other magic patterns faster and faster.
For the remaining two-thirds of the demons, Lin Zheyu estimated that it would take at least two years to complete them all.
Thinking of this, Lin Zheyu put away the jade talisman and immersed himself in the study of demons again.
With his right hand pressed on the body of a monster that looked like a Tyrannosaurus rex, with ferocious tumors all over its body, a powerful feeling filled the air.
Lin Zheyu is now trying to use his own understanding of magic patterns to build a detailed knowledge system of magic patterns step by step.
…
Time flies by.
In Yanwu City.
Xuanguang Tower is the most high-end restaurant in Yanwu City, and it is also the favorite gathering place for Qiu Kun and others to gather.
In the past, when they were still in the Divine Treasure Realm, they would feel tight and reluctant to come here.
But now, Qiu Kun and the others have been promoted to the Shackles Realm.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shackles realm warriors, no matter what force they are in, are upper-class figures, and there are only a few of them in the entire martial alliance.
The expenses in Xuanguang Tower are nothing to them.
"It's been three years, and Fellow Daoist Xiao has not yet come out of seclusion. It seems that this time, he is planning to hold back something big."
Qiu Kun said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao's talent is so abnormal. Even if he comes out of seclusion and says that he has broken free from the third shackles, I won't have the slightest doubt."
Bai Lin said with emotion.
Only by truly experiencing Xiao Yu's strength and cultivation speed can one feel how evil the other party is.
More than that.
Bai Lin also discussed martial arts with Xiao Yu. Later, Xiao Yu almost did the talking, and he listened carefully, just like a teacher teaching.
Xiao Yu not only has amazing attainments in martial arts, but also has good insights into other cultivation systems.
"Indeed, this guy is a pervert." Ji Haozhong agreed.
Qiu Kun nodded in agreement.
He looked around and looked at the friends he hadn't seen in a few years. The aura of everyone was much stronger.
Among them, Zong Linjing has made the greatest progress.
Qiu Kun couldn't see through the opponent's strength at all, but he felt a faint sense of threat from the opponent.
"Fellow Taoist Zong, have you broken free from the second shackles?" Qiu Kun asked in surprise.
"We made a breakthrough by luck, but we still need to further consolidate it."
Zong Linjing smiled and said modestly.
"It's really enviable. Even after practicing "Zhoutian Mingguang Guidance", I only made the second shackles solidify."
Ji Haozhong said enviously.
Among them, he is the oldest and the least talented. Compared with these geniuses, the gap is really huge.
"Have you heard that during the past few years when we were in seclusion, the Devil's Cave was extremely lively, and it is said that a cave-level battle took place."
Bai Lin said.
He broke free from the second shackles earlier than others. He was released from seclusion half a year ago. He knows more about the Demon Cave than Qiu Kun and others.
"Dongxu?!"
"While I was in seclusion, I missed such an important event!" Qiu Kun couldn't help exclaiming, his face full of regret.
That's Boss Dongxu, the top person in the pyramid of cultivation in the Wei Dynasty.
Such a terrifying existence, even just looking at it from a distance, made Qiu Kun feel that it was worth it.
"Excuse me, that battle almost turned the entire devil's cave upside down. Ninety-nine percent of the demons in the devil's cave died!"
"Nascent Soul, many golden elixir monks also died. The monks below the golden elixir suffered even greater losses. Many talented monks died."
"If you are also in the devil's cave, I might not be able to see you this time."
Ji Haozhong glanced sideways at Qiu Kun, curled his lips and said.
In a battle at the cave level, it is best to hide as far away as possible. If you join in the fun, people will die.
"Hey, it's not that serious. I'll just take a look at it from a distance."
Qiu Kun chuckled.
He was just having fun with it. If it really happened, he wouldn't dare to get close.
Not to mention Dongxu, Qiu Kun always avoided the battles between Nascent Soul monks. Although this guy was warlike, he was a stable group.
"So what's the situation over there in the Demon's Cave now?"
Zong Linjing ignored Qiu Kun and Ji Haozhong and looked at Bai Lin curiously.
Now that the strong men of Dongxu have taken action, the Demon Cave must have been completely destroyed... right?
"Due to the impact of the battle, many time and space nodes were closed, but nearly half of the nodes are still preserved."
"Now, the formation powerhouses are taking advantage of the fact that the current time and space node is affected by the battle and is a bit unstable. They should seize the time to rearrange the sealing formation."
Bai Lin said.
"The powerful Dongxu took action, but he failed to completely destroy the Demon Cave?" Qiu Kun asked in surprise.
"It's not that easy."
"There are rumors that the powerful Dongxu took action this time in order to suppress the nine-marked demons who tried to invade this world from the deepest part of the Demon Cave."
"This time, not only the nine-marked demon appeared, but the Holy Cult of Pain also dispatched a strong man from the Dongxu level."
"If it weren't for the Holy Cult of Pain, maybe we could have completely wiped out the Demon Cave."
Bai Lin explained.
When he first heard the news, he was shocked beyond measure.
The deepest part of the Demon Cave could actually support the passage of nine-marked demons, which was really beyond his expectation.
The most powerful space-time node can only support the passage of eight-marked demons.
If the nine-marked demon, who is comparable to Dongxu, wants to enter this world, it needs the time and space nodes to be completely stabilized and condensed into a two-realm passage.
"Hiss! Even the nine-marked demon appeared!"
Ji Haozhong took a breath and asked quickly: "Is the deepest two-realm passage closed?"
"closed."
"It is estimated that the Dongxu strongman took action to close the two-realm passage to prevent the nine-marked demon from successfully invading this world."
Bai Lin expressed his guess.
"That's good."
Qiu Kun breathed a sigh of relief.
He happily drank a pot of wine and continued: "I don't know when Daoist Xiao will be released from seclusion. Are you interested in going to the Demon Cave?"
"Let's go together, let's go together!" Ji Haozhong said with a smile.
"Add me here. After being in seclusion for so long, it's time to take on some tasks." Zong Linjing said with a smile.
"Since you are all going, let's go together!"
Bai Lin laughed.
"I left a message for Fellow Daoist Xiao. When he comes out of seclusion, if he also plans to go to the Demon Cave, we will take action together then."
Qiu Kun said with a smile.
…
In the lush wild mountains and forests.
A figure of an old man with an immortal air slowly fell from the void.
"I have kept my fellow Taoist waiting for a long time."
Fan Hongwei smiled and cupped his hands towards the burly man leaning against the tree trunk.
"I just arrived."
The burly man looked at Fan Hongwei and continued: "When will they arrive?"
"I just received the news from Xiao Yu, it will take about four months."
"He has just come out of seclusion and said he has some important matters that need to be dealt with." Fan Hongwei said helplessly.
"More than four months?"
The burly man frowned slightly, a little displeased.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I have to trouble you, fellow Taoist, to wait a little longer." Fan Hongwei said, cupping his hands.
"Forget it, let him live a few more months."
"However, given the danger level of this ruins, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator enters, there is a risk of falling."
"After you go in, you will probably die inside without us having to do anything." The burly man sneered.
"Don't worry, no matter whether you need to take action or not, I will not regret what I promised you."
Fan Hongwei said lightly.
He sneered in his heart, and a trace of contempt flashed deep in his eyes.
A vulgar martial artist is a vulgar martial artist, what do you know?
Fan Hongwei, who is proficient in divination and fortune-telling, knows very well how defiant those people who are born in response to the great catastrophe of heaven and earth are.
These guys are all the sons of luck in this era.
Many of the ruins and secret realms that pop up from time to time are secretly prepared by the will of heaven to cultivate these monks.
Fan Hongwei has great ambitions.
He wanted to forcefully use the secret technique to seize Xiao Yu's opportunity and luck, occupy the opponent's destiny, and become the son of luck in this great catastrophe!
To this end, Fan Hongwei made a lot of preparations.
"That's good."
"Before you leave for the ruins, I will leave first as informed." The burly man waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, you need to enter the ruins to cooperate with this matter." Fan Hongwei called out to the man.
"oh?"
"Just kill him directly, how can you cooperate?" the burly man curled his lips and said.
"I have my own reasons. I reached an agreement with you Fifth Elder. You just need to cooperate with me."
"Besides, aren't you going to capture that kid alive and ask about the truth behind Wu Yiyan's death?"
Fan Hongwei said lightly.
"I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me."
"In this case, please tell me carefully how to cooperate." The burly man said with a smile.
"good."
"Find a time to gather the others together. Then we will go to the ruins together. I will help you familiarize yourself with the ambush location and how to act at that time."
Fan Hongwei said lightly.
"So troublesome?"
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have accepted this mission..."
The burly man muttered, but still agreed.
This task was a cooperation between Fan Hongwei and Elder Wu Jin, and was then assigned to them. The man could not refuse.
…
In Yanwu City.
Lin Zheyu's figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
With a slight move of his right hand, he put away the Hunyuan Pool and the Formation Disk.
call……
Lin Zheyu breathed out softly.
The golden sunshine fell into the courtyard and shone on him.
Lin Zheyu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the sky, admiring the long-lost natural scenery.
“It’s still comfortable outside!”
Lin Zheyu opened his hands, stretched his body, and said with a smile.
He took out the telepathy ball and looked through the messages inside. Most of them were messages from Bai Lin and others.
"I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen during the period of seclusion."
"Dongxu strong man, I don't know what terrifying level the strength of this kind of strong man has reached."
Lin Zheyu sighed, a look of yearning appearing on his face.
After checking all the messages, he put the telepathy ball away.
"We won't go to the Demon Cave. Let's go to the East China Sea and deal with the demonic will in Kong Yujing and the others."
Lin Zheyu decided.
In the past few years, Kong Yujing worked very hard and attracted more than a dozen demon cultivators, including two demon cultivators in the Golden Core realm.
In just the past few years, the seedlings he planted casually have begun to grow and grow.
